CD8 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN1106562

Product Details anti-CD8 Antibody

Target: CD8

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD8 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Specificity: The antibody detects the CD8 Molecule, expressed as a heterodimer of CD8a (32-34 kDa)and CD8b (32-34 kDa) glycoproteins. Clone MCD8 is commonly used in routine immunophenotyping, the determination of CD4/CD8 ratios in HIV/AIDS patients and aids in the identification of T cell leukemias (common T-ALL or mature T-ALL)s. MCD8 also distinguishes between chronic B and T cell lymphoid leukemias.

Target Details for CD8

Target: CD8

Alternative Name: CD8 (CD8 Products)

Synonyms: CD8 antibody, Leu2 antibody, MAL antibody, p32 antibody, CD8a molecule antibody, CD8A antibody

Background: CD8 acts as a co-receptor with the TcR in recognizing antigens presented by MHC Class I and plays a role in the T cell-mediated immune response. The CD8 antigen is present on most tymocytes, T cytotoxic/suppressor cells and a subpopulation of NK cells.Synonyms: CD8 alpha chain, CD8A, MAL, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain, T-lymphocyte differentiation antigen T8/Leu-2
